"Big Brother, here are all the Calamity Monster Cores I've harvested so far," Xian said, taking out 89 cores, each radiating imnse power. So emitted wind energy, others light, water, fire, lightning, earth, and ice. Strangely, there were no Darkness cores among them. Karsha sighed and then selected ten of each type.
"I'll need these," Karsha stated, taking the cores. Xian nodded and returned the remaining cores to his space ring, grateful to finally assist his big brother in so way.
"You have 100 years to turn these three companions into Tier 12 World Bosses," Karsha declared.
He sensed their initial skepticism about forming a contract with Xian, but their hope grew upon seeing the abundance of Calamity Cores. Ultimately, every monster craved strength, which is exactly what Karsha wished for Xian.
Xian nodded. Karsha smiled and walked toward the four ladies, leaving Xian alone with Linnea. He started teaching her how to communicate with her beast companions.

"Congratulations on forming your first wood spirit," Karsha said to Li Fei, who had a proud smile on her face. Among his won, she was the first to make such significant progress with the cultivation thod he had given them.
Creating her first wood spirit had made her several tis stronger.
"It's all thanks to you giving the thod," Li Fei said with a beaming smile.
Karsha nodded, pleased with her progress. "You've done well, Li Fei. Keep pushing yourself, and you'll reach even greater heights."
"We still have seven days to go. Other than Li Jing, who doesn't have a cultivation thod yet, you two should also try and see if you can make headway," June and i Lin nodded in agreent.
June possessed a cultivation thod that enabled her to form what she called an Immortal Stone within her Core or dantian. On this stone, she would inscribe runes that imbued her elental powers with imnse strength, granting her formidable abilities.
However, forming the Immortal Stone was an arduous task, and Karsha knew it. Even though he believed June could not achieve it within the remaining seven days, all he could do was offer encouragent.
"i Lin, you've grown a lot since we last t. I can sense you haven't started using your cultivation thod yet. Can you tell why?" Karsha asked, his tone gentle despite his underlying concern. He wanted to understand i Lin's hesitation, even though he was eager for her to progress.
"I am still lacking. Although my foundation is intact, I haven't mastered the elents enough to fuse lightning and ice with my spiritual core to condense the runes like sister June," i Lin explained earnestly.
"I need more control over these elents, and I also lack the necessary ice and lightning energy sources to form the core. So for now, I'll focus on hunting calamity ice and lightning monster cores, and worry about the rest later."
"No need to be disappointed, i Lin. You're already doing great, and I believe in you," Karsha reassured her with a warm smile.
"Sotis I forget that not everyone progresses at the sa pace." He sighed softly and turned his attention to Li Jing.
"My dear Fire Empress, it seems you've already found your path. As luck would have it, I have the perfect cultivation thod for you. When we return, I'll make sure to get it for you."
Li Jing looked surprised. "You an..."
"Yes, the Flas of Eternity you used are just a part of a broader cultivation thod called the Fla Tree of Eternity. It's incredibly powerful,"
Karsha explained. He had seen the thod on the island. He had verified it with the system when Li Jing had used the spell, and it had confird his suspicions.
"Thank you," Li Jing said gratefully.
"No need to thank yet. I'll accept it differently when we get back," Karsha replied with a mischievous smile. Li Jing and the other ladies blushed at his teasing remark.
"Here are all the calamity cores we've gathered," Li Jing handed Karsha a ring, and when he opened it, he was astonished. Inside were over 200 calamity cores.
"13 Darkness-type cores," Karsha exclaid in shock as he examined the black cores radiating terrifying dark energy.
"We must have stumbled upon a Dark Tail Scorpion hideout. It was a tough battle, but Nedin turned the tide for us," Li Jing praised, glancing at the Ice Avatar who nodded in acknowledgnt before returning to her task of absorbing an Ice Core.
"She's quiet," June remarked, observing Nedin thoughtfully.
"And formidable," i Lin added, echoing June's sentint.
"I'll take all the darkness cores and ten of the others. I'm heading deeper into the forest's inner area. The rest of you continue exploring with Nedin, Xian, and Linnea," Karsha instructed, laying out his plan for the group.
"Are you sure about this? Sister Yi Ran ntioned that the Inner Area is packed with Tier 9 and even Tier 10 monsters. Tier 8 Calamity Mutants are considered cannon fodder there. Are you absolutely sure you want to go?" Li Jing asked, her motherly instincts kicking in.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning to hunt there. I just want to explore," Karsha reassured her.
Ever since he entered the purple forest, he had felt an unsettling gaze upon him. As he moved deeper into the forest, the source of that gaze beca clearer. He could sense it in the Inner Area ahead, and he felt compelled to investigate further.
He also wanted to see if he could handle Tier 9 monsters and perhaps even challenge Tier 10 Alpha monsters, though he wasn't aiming that high just yet.
"Are you sure?" Li Jing pressed again, still concerned.
"Woman, no sane person would throw away their life when they have such beauties beside them. I don't want to regret not enjoying your company in the afterlife, so rest assured, I won't do anything reckless," Karsha replied with a grin.
The four ladies rolled their eyes at his shaless comnt, but they knew he was serious. Who wouldn't want to appreciate such beauty? He has five heaven-defying beauties by his side, why would he throw his life away?
"I will be busy for the next two days, so let's find a place a little isolated," Karsha suggested. Nedin had already cleared the battlefield, so they flew away, heading to a mountain a few miles from the battlefield.
When they arrived at the mountain, Karsha was shocked to find a very spacious cave, large enough to fit a hundred people. He walked in, making sure it was empty. After walking for a few ters, he gestured for the others to follow.
Xian left the Wolf General at the entrance to act as a guard. As they walked in, they were all flabbergasted to discover that the inside of the cave was about 170 km wide. The place was huge and filled with dense spiritual Qi.
"This place is incredible," June said, her voice echoing slightly in the vast space.
"Yeah, it's perfect for seclusion," Karsha agreed, looking around with a smile. "We can set up camp here and use this ti to train. We all fought a lot of battles so use this ti to refine your energy and touch on your mistakes."
The group spread out, each finding a spot to settle in. The dense spiritual Qi in the cave would aid their cultivation, making it an ideal place for their needs. Karsha and Xian on the other hand didn't have the qualification to sense Spiritual energy yet, but that doesn't an they don't have sothing going on.
Xian retrieved a technique from his space ring and began studying it. Having only learned one soul skill, he knew he needed to expand his repertoire to be more effective in battles.
Despite having the strongest firepower among the disciples who entered the island, his individual strength was still lacking. He needed more soul techniques to co into his own truly.
anwhile, Karsha moved away from the group and activated his fortress. Once inside, he laid out a variety of items before him. There were cores of each elent; light, wind, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and water, along with thirteen darkness cores.
In addition to these, three bone shards, three darkness crystals, two lightning fruits, and many others also lay before him.
Karsha removed his Blood Extraction ring and placed it in front of him. With all the necessary items for forming his next core ready, he retrieved a jade box and opened it. A powerful energy erupted from the pill nestled inside.
He picked up the Core Formation Pill and swallowed it in one go. Instantly, a massive surge of energy rocked his body. His soul ring imdiately appeared, amplifying his energy. However, it didn't take long for him to feel a ravenous hunger emanating from within.
Understanding what needed to be done, he ford a hand seal. At first, nothing happened. Then, a few seconds later, the items on the floor began to glow, their energies being drawn out and circulating through the air.
The extracted energy began entering one of the three holders in his soul ring, with a small portion also being absorbed by his body. The Blood Extraction ring joined the process, releasing blood that circulated alongside the other energies.
Karsha felt the energies swirling within him, rging and amplifying his strength. The light, wind, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and water cores contributed their unique energies, each adding to his power.
The darkness cores, bone shards, and crystals brought their potent forces into the mix.
The fortress humd with a powerful resonance as Karsha continued to channel the energies. He focused intently, guiding the energies into the soul ring and his body.
Slowly, the core started to form, but it was just an embryonic form. He continued to channel the energies into the soul Ring but the core growth was just too slow.
A few hours passed, then a day passed. After a day, the core form grew to the size of a thumb. Karsha smiled sensing his body also increasing in strength. The more the core grew, the stronger he felt. he had received a few system ssages but he hadn't checked.
BOOM!
A few hours before the second day, a loud explosion rocked from Karsha's body,
"Finally" He smiled and retrieved another pill. he tossed it into his mouth and began condensing the Core.
A few hours later, another explosion rocked out making Karsha smile cheerfully. He has finally ford his Great Alpha Core.
